Why Did No One See Flags Of Our Fathers?

Flags of our Fathers has just completed its fourth week in theaters. The film cost $90 million to make… and up to this point, a film that a LOT of people were talking and buzzing about has only pulled in $30 million. This movie is positioned to be about a HUGE financial loss for Paramount.

So here we are again. A movie with a solid and multi Oscar winning director (Eastwood), a named cast, good buzz, solid reviews and a theme that always seems to work… and almost no one went to see it.

So the real question here is… why? Why did this film flop so badly? Why did no one go to see Flags of our Fathers? More specifically… why didn’t YOU go to see Flags of our Fathers?
